About Us
Blue Mariposa Press is a Far North Queensland–based literary platform and independent publisher devoted to transformation, place and people.
Born in the rainforest, Blue Mariposa exists to support beautiful stories, poems, and essays shaped by lived experience - writing that carries the marks of where it was written, who it belongs to and what it has moved through. We are interested in metamorphosis:
How landscape shapes voice
How stories change us
How words can hold both fragility and strength
Blue Mariposa Press positions itself as a local, writer-led community platform, grounded in lived practice and creative exchange. Our aim is to support writers where they are - through visibility, connection and the steady building of a regional literary archive.
This platform belongs to Far North Queensland.
